And I shall now bid farewell for the evening. Although would like to address and apologise to Wolves fans for calling them “the men in orange” earlier (thanks to Jeff Shaw for pulling me up on it). “The men in old gold”, probably sounds better as well. Thank you for your company. Good night.

Harry Kane’s goal is key as Tottenham hold off late Wolves surge

Mauricio Pochettino has been speaking and, it’s fair to say, Kieran Trippier is heading for a severe dressing down after his silly nutmeg attempt on Leo Bonatini led to the first Wolves penalty.

It’s not easy and sometimes you can concede. We suffered with the injury to Dembele and it changed our plan, putting another offensive player on. At 3-0, everyone believed the game was over but when you make a mistake, you put the game at risk. That is the thing we need to be careful, more discipline and be more responsible. Be more respectful with the football. I saw one situation and I want to see it again. I am not happy.

On Mousa Dembele’s injury...

We need to assess him, his ankle, but we need to hope it’s not a big issue. We will assess tomorrow.

And Juan Foyth, who marked his first Premier League start by conceding two penalties. Pochettino said he also did this while a player for Espanyol...

I am happy with his performance, sometimes when you are in defence you can be involved in an action like this. He will remember that but the most important thing is we got the three points and it’s something for him to learn from.

A great game – a lot of enthusiasm and intensity. The action was good. All the players, the referees... good game, bad result but a fantastic reaction.

The game went away from us at the beginning. We started well but Tottenham on the counter-attack ... two situations .. and that was the definition of the game.

When they got the third goal, everyone thought that was it but the players came again. In the end, [we deserved] maybe a draw, but well played. A good effort from the boys.

We knew in the first half, we were a good team and that one goal could change everything and we went for it. The first 10-15 minutes of the second half was good. Those moments are what’s most important, the heart and the belief.

Tottenham have moved up a place in the Premier League table to fourth, just three points off top. As you were for Wolves in 11th, although they now have a negative goal difference completing a nice piece of symmetry in that particular statistic between the top and bottom 10.

We made it difficult, 3-0 up and then a lack of concentration and aggression we lost control of the game. Wolves are a good team and they showed it until the end.

I try to do my job when the team needs. Happy with the win but unfortunately we could not get the clean sheet. We keep working and three important points.

Like all the top clubs in Europe, it’s a busy schedule, we have a strong squad and the gaffer puts pressure on all the players with the rotation and the key is consistency. A lot of things we need to reach but we can do it together.

That all said, individual mistakes from Trippier – trying to meg Bonatini in his own corner – and then Foyth, in allowing Jonny to get wrong side and fouling the full-back, gave Wolves the necessary impetus. Would they have scored without those two gifts?

Thought this at the beginning of the game, discarded it at 3-0 but now it seems relevant – Tottenham had zero midfield control in this game, bar a few patches towards the end of the first half. Replacing Joao Moutinho seemed bold by Nuno but it was exactly what Wolves needed to add a bit more zip to their game and Morgan Gibbs-White looks a real find. Hate to bang *that* drum but until Spurs find another Dembele-type (and I’m not 100% sure Harry Winks is their guy) they will always give teams who keep the ball a chance.

Full-time! Wolves 2-3 Tottenham

Phew! Where did that come from? From a position of complete control and, dare I say, dominance, Spurs contrived to allow Wolves back into the game. Foyth was the unfortunate man to concede both penalties but he was also let down by the veteran defenders around him. Pochettino’s team made that significantly harder than it needed to be.

85 min: Traore v Davies and it’s not a fair fight. The winger takes him on the outside and looks to clip a cross to the far post but it drifts onto the roof of the net with Lloris back-pedalling and leaping just to make sure.

83 min: Never mind how bad Spurs are defending right now, what has happened to their midfield? Winks and Sissoko being dragged all over the place. Dribble-merchant Adama Traore is on for Costa. Get ready.

81 min: Jimenez fires a pass out to Doherty who crosses back to the Mexican and the striker heads straight at Lloris. Meanwhile, Sanchez takes Bonatini out off the ball but the referee missed it completely.

78 min: Oh no Juan Foyth! Conceding two (TWO!) penalties on your first Premier League start. This time it’s 100% his fault as Jonny out-sprints him, gets across the Argentine and he brings him down earning a yellow card.

75 min: What a chance for Wolves! Gibbs-White has looked good since coming on and from 30 yards out, looks up and just slots a perfectly-weighted pass into the path of Costa who had got beyond the Spurs defence but the Wolves forward is stretching as he shoots and it rolls just wide.

69 min: Almost instantly Spurs respond. Another of those long passes forward has Kane running onto it and ahead of the defence. He strikes it first time, bang on the laces from 20 yards but Patricio’s wrists were strong enough to punch clear. Either side of the goalkeeper and that was probably a goal.

65 min: Lucas has a bit of fun, bobbing and weaving his way into space. Wolves chasing everything and Kane forces a fine one-handed stop from Patricio after sending Winks as a decoy runner across his eyeline and drawing the defender away to open up the opportunity.

GOAL! Wolves 0-3 Tottenham (Kane, 61)

That will be that, then. Some smart work down the left from Lamela after a poor header from Boly. The Argentine stands up Coady, wrong foots him and then picks out Kane. The striker’s first attempt is saved by Patricio but he slams in the rebound from a tighter angle.

56 min: Trippier and Jimenez exchange pleasantries as they clash inside the area with the Wolves striker wanting a penalty for a foul. Which it wasn’t. Trippier then drags the Mexican up and the two get closely acquainted.

51 min: Lloris is a busy man here! Really lazy from Trippier and Alderweireld in failing to adequately clear their lines and Neves replies from the edge of the area with a really well-struck volley bound for the bottom right-hand corner. Lloris’ stretched right arm denies him, though.

49 min: Chance for Wolves. Maybe their best of the game so far. Jimenez in space, the wrong side of Alderweireld with Trippier playing him onside. The Mexican hit his strike well but it was straight at Lloris. Costa then troubles the Spurs goalkeeper, cutting inside Alderweireld (who’s struggling a bit) and forcing a corner.

46 min: Bright opening from the men in orange. Jimenez down the left channel and draws Trippier and Foyth towards him but his cross is blocked and then the Mexican loses the ball on the follow-up. 30 or so seconds later, Costa then clips a cross to the far post, intended for Jimenez but Trippier is able to chest the ball back to Lloris.

Wolves appear to have been out on the pitch at half-time doing shuttle runs. While really nice on the ball, out of possession they do allow the opposition a little bit too much space. A little more intensity in their pressing wouldn’t go amiss. Peep! We’re back on for the second-half.

A troubling stat via my colleague Niall McVeigh, for Wolves and the Premier League as a competition and status as “THE BEST AND MOST COMPETITIVE LEAGUE IN THE WORLD”: Watford are the only team from outside the top five (that is: City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal) to have beaten one from inside that group of teams.

Half-time! Wolves 0-2 Tottenham

A difficult start for Tottenham who lost Dembele early on to injury. Mauricio Pochettino seemed to have selected a side to pack the midfield, disrupt and unsettle Moutinho and Neves, and then try and catch Wolves in transition through the pace of Lucas. Wolves were largely on top in the first five minutes, controlling possession. Once Dembele left and Son came on, all of a sudden Spurs looked the more expansive, and their attacking midfield trio were swapping positions, finding space in between the lines, while Moutinho and Neves are not *that* good in a defensive sense.

Two quick-fire goals has Tottenham well in control, and certainly the second should have been averted, but Wolves really should have had one back through Jimenez’s disallowed strike. The hosts are playing okay, but still look vulnerable on their heels and unless they score in the first 15 after the break, you fancy Tottenham to either add to their total or play their way to three points.

45+2 min: Nice buildup from Wolves with the ball fired into Jimenez who has Alderweireld back-pedalling and looking a little uncomfortable on the edge of his own penalty area. That threat is just about dealt with but the ball squirms out to the advancing Neves who fires over.

43 min: Lamela was almost surprised to find himself in space beyond the Wolves defence, down the right channel, and made a poor first touch before rushing his cross, intended for Kane, with the ball drifting out of harm’s way. There are more goals in this game.

40 min: A Moutinho corner causes some chaos in the penalty area which Spurs do eventually manage to clear. However, the ball is worked back to Moutinho who picks out Boly making a move to the near post but the defender’s diving header is well wide. This is a good reaction from the hosts.

37 min: Aaaaaaaand just as I say that, Jimenez has a goal ruled out for offside ... which was on. Moutinho getting beyond the defence and squaring for the striker to score but the Portuguese ( I assume) was ruled to have infringed. Not even that close, either.

36 min: Spurs knocking the ball about comfortably, all nice triangles and interchanges and there isn’t a great deal of pressure from Wolves, either. Lucas clips a cross into the penalty area which isn’t far from Kane connecting. Tottenham well in control.

33 min: This isn’t good for Wolves, who have only scored two goals in a Premier League game twice this season (against Everton on the opening day and Southampton on Sept. 29). Kane threatens to make matters worse with a well-struck 30-yard effort after exchanging passes with Lucas but Patricio saves, stooping to take the ball low.

GOAL! Wolves 0-2 Tottenham (Lucas, 30)

Simple stuff. The ball is worked out to Trippier on the right flank and with little pressure the full-back swings in a cross and Lucas, surprisingly, gets in between Coady and Bennett to head a finish. A weak one to concede from Wolves’ perspective.
